A Pennsylvania judge ordered the commonwealth's former attorney general to report to prison by 9 a.m. Thursday, more than two years after she was convicted for leaking grand jury information and lying about it.

Democrat Kathleen Kane, 52, had been free on $75,000 bail while she appealed her 10-to-23-month sentence. The state Supreme Court announced Monday that it had declined to take up her case.


"Given that the rationale for (the) defendant remaining at liberty pending appeal has expired, post-sentence bail is revoked,” Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy write in ordering Kane to report to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. Demchick-Alloy formally directed the Lackawanna County sheriff to serve a copy of her order on Kane, who lives in Scranton.

Kane’s lawyer, Joshua Lock, has not responded to multiple messages seeking comment.

The Montgomery County district attorney’s office formally requested the order earlier Tuesday, arguing the Supreme Court decision was the end of the legal road for Kane.

"Two different appellate courts have reviewed her case, yet her judgment of sentence remains," District Attorney Kevin Steele wrote. "She received a fair trial, her guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt and now it is time for her to serve her sentence."

Kane was convicted of two counts of felony perjury and seven misdemeanors, including obstruction and conspiracy.

The first woman and first Democrat to be elected as Pennsylvania’s attorney general, Kane resigned from office after her October 2016 conviction.

She had argued before Superior Court that she should have been allowed to use evidence of a pornographic email scandal that rocked the state’s judicial community as well as evidence related to the Jerry Sandusky child molestation case that her former office prosecuted.

Steele's bail revocation motion to Demchick-Alloy anticipated that Kane may have argued the judge had discretion to keep Kane out on bail while she "seeks further state review." The district attorney said that was only possible under a motion for the high court to reconsider its decision turning down her appeal, which he said could not be done simply to delay the sentence. He said a reconsideration application only could have been for delay purposes.

"The Pennsylvania Supreme Court's denial of discretionary review should be considered the conclusion of (Kane's) avenues for direct appeal in state court," Steele argued.

The lower appeals court also rejected Kane's argument that she should have been allowed to prevent all Montgomery County judges from handling her case, as well as her claims that evidence against her was illegally obtained and that she had been the victim of selective and vindictive prosecution.

Happy Holidays...

Perfect timing... she was hoping to get one last holiday season in...

Well, fuck you lady. Enjoy the Christmas Turkey and Mashed Potatoes in an orange jumpsuit in prison.

This is one vindictive woman. She could star as a villain in most horror films.

She should be really popular in the big house

I hope her time in the slammer is a horrifying and life/life-time degrading experience for her!

The virulently anti-2A POS that she is, Kane single-handedly fucked up PA's LTCF reciprocity with FL, UT, VA and maybe another state or three.

Naw...put her in SCI-Muncy, an all female state prison. Cell her up with "Bobbi" or "Big Bertha" and let those GIRLS change her name to "Candy Kane".

Her vindictiveness was all encompassing. It was her #1 and #2 priority while being the state AG. Also derailing a long investigation into corruption of some local democrat officials.

I do not believe she realizes how screwed up her priorities are, she probably cannot see outside the bubble that her head is in. Some people never learn, and I am glad that justice has been served.

As a lifelong PA resident, I can't tell you how great it was to read this news.

She is one of the rare women I would use the C word for. What a great Christmas present this is!

As a side benefit, Kane will not be able to own or use any firearms. Once out of prison, she will have little to defend herself with, just like many of the "little people".

Orange is her new black.

Interesting read.
I gather that she was a "I'm gonna bring these guys down for being "babe of the day" kinda guys and got her azz handed to her.

I'm glad to see this kind of crap handled.

a nice win for the people

Recent divorce, minor auto accident, yeah, her life seems to be in the toilet.

You must mean "classy"

I wonder how her last night of freedom is going... I’m sure shes care free and not a bundle of nerves...

Tic Tok, Tic Tok. That wake up is going to be early tomorrow to make that 0900 appointment!!!!

Oh looks like she asked for a little more time off to “make arrangements” for her teenage sons...

DENIED by the Judge less than an hour after the motion was filed!!!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Making arrangements for her kids.
